Georgetown:
This one is going to sting for a while. Everything was on the line, and the Hoyas played pretty well.

They started sharp and took an early lead. Georgetown had a little trouble during the middle portion of the game when West Virginia cranked up their defense, but the Hoyas were the sharper team down the stretch, and played tough defense to close out the game. Unfortunately, West Virginia’s combination of big shots by Da’Sean Butler and perfect free throw shooting in the final sealed the Hoyas’ defeat.

It was an effort to be proud of for the Hoyas, which is very little consolation.
